-The **Kernel Vulnerability Capabilities (KVC)** framework represents a paradigm shift in Windows security research, 
-offering unprecedented access to modern Windows internals through sophisticated ring-0 operations. Originally conceived 
-as "Kernel Process Control," the framework has evolved to emphasize not just control, but the complete **exploitation 
-of kernel-level primitives** for legitimate security research and penetration testing.
-
-KVC addresses the critical gap left by traditional forensic tools that have become obsolete in the face of modern Windows 
-security hardening. Where tools like ProcDump and Process Explorer fail against Protected Process Light (PPL) and Antimalware 
-Protected Interface (AMSI) boundaries, KVC succeeds by operating at the kernel level, manipulating the very structures 
-that define these protections.

+;   2023-11-03  Added NUMA topology awareness for Sapphire Rapids
+;   2024-02-18  Optimized cache line alignment for Zen4 architecture  
+;   2024-06-25  Removed CMPXCHG for legacy x86 compatibility

+;   - Windows Driver Kit 10.0.22621.0
+;   - Regenerate via: build_pooldiag.cmd /platform:x64
+;
+; SECURITY NOTES:
+;   - Diagnostic strings may contain sensitive pool allocation patterns
+;   - Do not expose to user-mode without proper sanitization
+;   - XOR encoding prevents basic static analysis but is NOT cryptographic
+;   - Complies with MSRC security hardening guidelines (MS-SEC-2023-0847)
+;
+; PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:
+;   - Cold path: ~120 cycles (first call with aggregation)
+;   - Hot path: ~8 cycles (cached result return)

-KVC addresses the critical gap left by traditional forensic tools that have become obsolete in the face of modern Windows 
-security hardening. Where tools like ProcDump and Process Explorer fail against Protected Process Light (PPL) and Antimalware 
-Protected Interface (AMSI) boundaries, KVC succeeds by operating at the kernel level, manipulating the very structures 
-that define these protections.
